I will survive

Wow. I did it! I survived surströmming! At least it tastes better than it smells, but that's not difficult. I don't need that taste again in my life. Bäh....

But from the beginning: they day started with practicing for the surströmming-party. My group trained a pantomimic performance. Every group had to present their results from their surströmming-investigation. The first group presented a Talk-Show, the second was my own group, the third had a very funny surströming-commercial performance, the fourth has covered the beautiful song "Vem vet" (engl.: Who knows) to "Vem äter" (engl.: Who eats) and the last made a TV-Show. It was a great fun.

After the introduction we were seperated into groups again to prepare the party. I decided to help the entertainmentgroup. We exercised a song, almost one hour. After that, Nicola and i decided to make a few scetches as serving couple. Because of this we went back to the hostel to change our dress, but when we returned our preperations were for nothing, because Ella gave us just some lyrics of swedish drinking songs. Sweds are strange. They love to celebrate, but their drinking songs so sad that you should sing it on a graveyards. Almost no happy melody. Perhaps, because the alcohol is such expensive...
The highlight was the surströmming, of course. We all had to go to the opened surströmming can and to smell the "aroma". It was awful. When smells this "aroma" you think of several ... things you never want so see - not to mention to eat! Everyone who stands eating the rotten fish earned a diploma. Even 18 of 25 tried, the otheres capitulated. But i did! But never ever again. I had felt this taste of rotten fish the whole day. At the picture you can see Dennis, Nicola and me.
After the meal we learned a new swedish song. As Sebastian mentioned correctly, the song is some kind of "Flippers"-style. It was not that motivating like the songs we learned before.
At the end of the day, Nicola and i started with swedish homework and ended with Joana, Fabian and with two bottles of red wine (and one 43 liquor with milk for each) at the kitchen to forget surströmming.

When i went to bed, i propably saw polar lights again. But it was clouded so i am not sure. But there is nothing what could light the sky at the south of Härnösand, i think.

Back to the places you will be from

The last day in Sweden went pretty well. After the morning I was finished with everything I had to fix. I brought back all my books to the library, picked up my copies of my diploma thesis, picked up the last stuff from my office, said good bye to Aron, changed my address at the Skatteverket, canceled my bank account and was back at Nacksta before 2pm. At 7pm I've been at Norrmalms and helped Marlies and Annemiek baking appelflappen . But I was rather useless than an effective support. Especially at half past 7 when my last Friends episode in Sweden started. The last for me. Since 8 I was sitting in the basement waiting for people. I do not know exactly when, but I think the first arrived at 9. And it was really nice. And I got the nicest present I could imagine. Well, I could not imagine it before! It is a memory game with pictures of all student from last semester. No picture is twice, so the game is about finding two different pictures of the same person. It even has a box title...

Fourth day at Härnösand

This was used to be our free day. Somehow the sunday passed by quicker than the days before. After the party at night i left already at 11 o'clock i walked to the universitiy for internet. But when i arrived, the internet was down. I have waited for 2 hours, but it didn't come back. So i had to walk 15 minutes back to the hostel without having done anything usefull. When i arrived i heard the internet was up again. Arg, why didn' stay in bed before?! After my second visit at the u niversity (internet was realy online), it was afternoon and Jana, Klara, Katerina, Denis and i decided to walk to the east coast of the island to see the open sea. On our way we met Phil who joined our trip. We walked about an our until we arrived at a small village "Gånsvik" at the east coast. We climbed on several rocks. The landscape was great. After four hours at all we were back at the hostel. Nothing more happend and i was realy tired from walking so went to bed early again.
